Summary

In "Me: A Book of Remembrance," Onoto Watanna skillfully navigates the confluence of personal narrative and cultural introspection, offering readers a poignant exploration of identity within the tapestry of early 20th-century America. Employing a lyrical prose style interwoven with rich imagery and emotive language, Watanna delves into the complexities of her Japanese heritage and the immigrant experience. This memoir reflects a unique literary context, bridging Western literary traditions with Eastern philosophies, thereby enriching the discourse on multicultural identity during a time of evolving societal norms. Onoto Watanna, the pen name of Winnifred Eaton, was one of the first Asian American authors to gain recognition in North America. Growing up in a bicultural environment, Watanna's writing was profoundly influenced by her mixed heritage and the challenges of navigating cultural duality. Her experiences as a Japanese woman in a predominantly Western literary landscape inform her narrative, drawing attention to the nuanced layers of perception and belonging that characterize the immigrant experience. This remarkable memoir is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of culture, identity, and personal storytelling. Watanna's exploration of self and society not only captivates the imagination but also evokes essential questions about heritage and acceptance, making it a timeless work that resonates with contemporary audiences.

Praise for The Secret Hunter: 
4 STARS from Romantic Times: 
"Saville's romp is intriguing, with amusing characters.... although the sexual content is mild, the sensuality is on the mark, and the villain's identity is up for grabs almost to the end of the book." - Faith V. Smith, Romantic Times 
"With a wounded hero to sigh over, his precious princess, scandalous secrets about to be exposed and a rambunctious, hairy pug of a matchmaker, THE SECRET HUNTER is definitely a delightful historical." - J.T., Romance Junkies 
"A lively and engaging Regency romance; author Susanne Saville has crafted a fresh look at the fun that can be had when a hairy matchmaker draws two unlikely protagonists together. Daniel is a hero to admire.... Together with Gwenllian the sexual tension is a palpable thing, humming along through the story....To witness their falling in love is beautiful, romantic and emotional while working together to foil a traitor." - Lettetia, Ecataromance 
The Secret Hunter was a Finalist in the Desert Rose RWA 2008 Golden Quill contest in the Regency category. It was also a finalist in the RWA Beau Monde Chapter's Royal Ascot Contest.
